Filming: 20th-23rd February

Due to unavailability of actors and unscheduled snow, we had to film on the last week.  This was stressful, however we managed to stay focused and complete what we needed as our footage. On Monday 20th, we filmed all of Luke's parts and all of Charli's. However, we when came back the next day to show Mr Ford, he didn't like one shot of Luke going up the stairs. This meant we had to re-shot this. This didn't bother us, as we were still scheduled in to film on Wednesday and Thursday. When we filmed on Wednesday we redid shots of Luke entering the door and going up the stairs. To enable success on these shots we filmed from loads of different angles to see which one would suit best.

On Thursday we showed out teacher's what we produced, however they didn't like the lighting of Charli. Due to us wanting a dark room, it meant the camera was struggling to pick up footage. This meant we had to re shot everything of Charli but in different lighting. To overcome this issue we put a light shining on Charli's face. Even though we didn't originally plan this, we liked the effect of the shadows coming off from the bars of the bed.

Now we have finished our filming, we need to produce our rough cut to show to our teacher on Thursday. I believe our group is ready and prepared for this as editing won't take as long than filming. We acted calmly throughout the filming, (even though we had one week) which enabled us to work together well, producing good footage.
